Search any dental Facebook group and you'll find it: an associate, posting anonymously, afraid their own boss might see it, asking if it's normal to wait weeks or months to get paid for work they already finished.

Their concern is justified. Here's exactly why the common way of paying associates favors the owner, and the fair alternative I used to pay my own 5 general dentists and 3 specialists.

We weren't looking to hire anyone. We were just buying Christmas decorations, stuck in a long checkout line at a mobbed store.

But watching how one young cashier handled that chaos changed how my wife Elizabeth and I have hired ever since.

Here's what happened, and where we've been looking for talent ever since.

Your recall patients have already ignored your texts and your emails. So when your voicemail gives them the same information in a different format, they ignore that too.

One of my coaches, Lisa, came up with a six-word message that flips this completely and gets a 95% callback rate.

Here's the math on what six more recall patients a week is actually worth, and the exact words to use.

Most job postings for dental team members include one line without a second thought. "One year dental experience required."

That single line might be cutting your candidate pool by 80% or more.

When I sold my two practices, I had 35 team members on staff, and outside the roles that legally require a license, I'd hired 95% of them with zero dental experience.

Here's what I looked for instead, and why it worked.

Every PPO conversation starts the same way. "Our fees are fixed. Take it or leave it."

Most dentists believe that completely and stay stuck for years because of it.

I dropped out of network myself, then helped my father's practice do the same thing after he passed. Here's the lie they're counting on you never questioning.

Most dentists think they need more new patients.

Some do. Most don't.

I've seen practices quietly lose enormous amounts of revenue through systems that weren't working the way the owner thought they were.

Hygiene.
Scheduling.
Diagnosed treatment.
New-patient phone conversion.

The interesting part?

The patients were already there.

Before assuming the answer is more leads, more advertising, and more new patients, look closely at the practice you already have.

There may be far more opportunity inside it than you realize.

Only one way to find out whether a PPO is willing to negotiate.

You have to be genuinely prepared to walk away.

That's why I call this strategy the Nuclear Option.

It's faster than the safe, predictable PPO exit strategy I've taught for years.

It's also riskier.

And it is never a bluff.

Watch this before you even think about sending a PPO a demand for higher fees.

And if you'd like my actual PPO Fee Demand Letter PLUS the full in-depth training explaining exactly when to use it, when NOT to use it, and how to use it safely and effectively:

For years, most dentists believed they had only two choices:

Accept lower fees...

or risk losing patients.

But what if that belief is no longer true?

In this Reel Gem, I explain why today's PPO landscape has changed, why many insurance companies are under more pressure than they used to be, and how that shift may completely change the way you think about PPO fee negotiations.

At the end, I'll also tell you how to get complimentary access to my full Nuclear Option webinar and the actual PPO Fee Demand Letter that started it all.
